I think it's expected behavior. If you can't edit the text, then why it should give you a hint?]]>Jan Krakora2012-07-03T10:05:56-00:00Re: Text hint support on Windows 7https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/366783/893266/#msg_893266
thus could be ok to display some hint even if not editable.

If is a expected behavior it's ok for me. But for the same SWT version
you have different behavior. In Linux and Windows XP the hint is
displayed, in W7 not.

Is maybe controlled by the OS?

You could create a bug on the eclipse bugzilla for this. The SWT guys then give us the final answer.]]>Jan Krakora2012-07-03T12:49:04-00:00Re: Text hint support on Windows 7https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/366783/893331/#msg_893331

I've opened a bug [1] about this issue.
